Lovely home! Gorgeous view in a very cute, quiet town. Perfect house for anyone that wants to get away from it all. Immaculately decorated, very clean.
We couldn't meet the hosts, but they seemed very nice and responded quickly. Most of the manuals are in German/Danish, so the host was helpful enough to call and explain.
Here's the run-down for fellow naive Americans:
-Water heater is in the middle bedroom in a white IKEA-style cabinet to the left. Set it to 1.5 or 2. It took us about 5 hours to get enough hot water for the shower/hot tub.
-The meter for electric is just outside of the front door, to the right and the meter for the water is in the sauna underneath the bench. If no water is running, you might also need to turn on that spigot underneath.
-Google European ovens before you go so you understand the icons - there are way more cooking options than in the USA
-The laundry detergent can go straight into the cylinder.
-There is a small switch on the outside of the freezer on the top left to turn it on. The fridge turns on by pressing in the On button on the outside for a second or two.
-Host is generous enough to provide coffee! Bring your own sugar or whitener/milk. In May 2015, there was a pink container that looked like USA CoffeeMate but it turned out to be artificial sweetner that clicks out of the bottom in little pill form. My husband used 10 of them thinking they would be whitener - we had a good laugh about it!
-We didn't use the sauna or fireplace, so can't give you instructions there. But they looked great!
It was really fun seeing the differences and very relaxing to use the hot tub!
